The only app blocker that actually works for me

I have tried every screen time app on the market,but I have always found a way to bypass them or input the password. Dawnova completely changed the game because it forces me to physically get out of the bed. My morning routine used to be waking up and immediately doomscrolling TikTok in the dark.Now my apps are hard locked until I take 15 steps and go out of the balcony for 3 minutes of sunlight. It completely broke my scrolling addiction. Highly recommend if you lack willpower in the morning.

Response from developer

Thank you, this made our day. "I always found a way to bypass them" is exactly why Dawnova asks for 15 steps and real daylight instead of a password: you can't fake either from bed. Glad the balcony became part of your morning. If a dark winter morning ever gets in the way, Winter Mode lowers the light target to match the daylight, so you're never stuck. — The Dawnova team

Response from developer

Thank you, love the "holy cow"! Fifteen steps to the patio and a few minutes of light is the whole habit, so it's great to hear it's sticking. Since you're on Apple Health: tag nights with alcohol, late dinners or stress, and Insights will compare only your clean nights, so the improvements you see are the real ones. — The Dawnova team
